CPT® Code 58322

Artificial insemination is a medical procedure used to assist individuals or couples facing challenges with fertility. Specifically, CPT® Code 58322 refers to intra-uterine artificial insemination, which involves the introduction of sperm directly into the uterine cavity. This method is particularly beneficial for addressing male infertility issues, such as low sperm count, absence of sperm, or conditions like retrograde ejaculation. Additionally, it can be utilized in cases of female infertility that may arise from cervical injuries or deformities that obstruct the passage of sperm through the cervix. Intra-uterine insemination is also an option for individuals without a male partner or for those facing other fertility-related challenges. The procedure is performed using a thin, flexible catheter that is carefully inserted into the uterine cavity, allowing for the direct placement of washed and concentrated sperm, thereby increasing the chances of conception.
